Those dogs are amazingly well trained. That was really interesting.

Oh are those dogs well trained! Watch them watch him.

I am from a part of the country where people run sled dogs, like in Alaska they are primarily small huskies bred to run and run some more and take the cold. I believe the video is of Heini Winter, who I think is German. He is a world class musher and runs Eurohounds (mixed breeds of all sorts of dogs).

There is a guy who has done the Iditarod with standard poodles.... (I understand he's given that up now though because no one would take him seriously enough)

Whoever that guy is, he is definitely alpha!

And I thought my dog was smart as he would immediately get behind me when I gave him the command "biker back" and stay there until I released him (miss my hiking buddy) he wasn't all that great with the bike though, think it was because he got jumped by two black labs on the trail when we were riding and after that was never too excited about running with the bike

I'm familiar with the concept of dogs herding sheep and cows, in fact, my dog has some of those bloodlines. But the dogs being the "herd-ees" now that's cute, funny, clever, interesting etc. Made me giggle!

At the beginning of the video when they were heading out, I noticed the parked cars had European plates on the front. Then when they crossed a street the cars were driving on the right-hand side, and there was a 30 kph speed limit sign. And it sounded like he was speaking German. My money would be on that being from Germany.

The part where they all spread out in a field was funny They were doing what came natural, but it didn't take them long to get back in position!

It seems it is Heini Winter, from Augsburg, Germany (north west of Munich). He is a sled dog "musher."

That vid is just amazing!!!

Thx for sharing it.

Oh if only all loose dogs we encounter as cyclists were that well trained.

It would be a piece of cycling heaven.
